Something like:

cairo_save (cr);
cairo_reset_clip (cr);
cairo_clip_extents (cr, &x1, &y1, &x2, &y2);
cairo_restore (cr);

should give you the size of the surface.
Remember that this will give you the size of the group target, not of
the "original" target.
I believe that to get the size of the original target, you have to
wrap it in a new cairo_t and ask for its clip extents.
